Bob Maschi

Bob Maschi - International Board Member

Welcoming International Board Member Bob Maschi. Mr. Maschi was suggested by the International Secretary; Amanda Gullesserian, and appointed by the International President; Elisabeth Thomas, on Aug. 23rd, 2017.

Mr. Maschi has been writing erotica and adult scripts professionally for almost two decades. As a long-time advocate for working people and their unions.

Mr. Maschi sees that those working in the adult entertainment industry, and particularly the women working in parts of that industry, often experience conditions so horrible that most Americans cannot even imagine them. On top of deplorable working conditions, add in their utter lack of job security, poor access to health care, sometimes dangerous working conditions and near absence of retirement programs. Treatment that, Mr. Maschi feels, are afforded to those who provide so much enjoyment to so many others while producers make billions of dollars every year. He states that it is way past time for the ‘adult’ industry to grow up and treat the people who make this industry, and its customers, with more respect.

Mr. Maschi has also been appointed to lead our "Union Dues Committee", which will help create the structure that will guide this union into the future. The I.E.A.U. board is excited and proud to have Mr. Maschi and his eagerness to help the people in this industry.

Ray Kile

Ray Kile - International Board Member

Mr. Kile, who was a custodial parent for 18 years, worked as a driver, dancer, bartender and house-mom before eventually becoming an owner of several dance clubs in the Portland, Oregon area. While he fully supports the rights of industry workers his experiences on both sides of the aisle provide a valuable viewpoint and he feels that unionized clubs can run profitably while treating their workers with respect.

“I can honestly say, I never took a dollar from any dancer who worked for me. My priority was to make the dancers money – their priority was to keep the bars busy. Happy dancers equal happy customers. In today's Business, I see utilizing union employees as a benefit for owners who seek the stability, unity and professionalism stemming from the union work environment.”

A founding member of IEAU, Mr. Kile heads our Membership Campaigns working to ensure that each member receives the benefits they deserve including medical, retirement and social security.

Sadie McLaren

Sadie McLaren recently retired to join the International Entertainment Adult Union Board to dedicate herself to advocating for dancers, full-time. She started dancing at the age of 22 and spent 12 years in the industry – 7 of which were at one club. "That club is why I became a member and joined the board. I knew I couldn't allow them to continue treating girls the same way, or worse than I'd been treated; and I realized I had to do something."

“I left a cushy government job in a VA hospital pharmacy to pursue dancing in 2006, because I'd been wanting to dance since I was 17, and I kept getting drawn to it. I wanted to do something challenging that would also make me happy. So, I left my government job and got my first job dancing in Chicago.”

A triple-certified Pharmacy Tech, Sadie brings many talents to the IEAU Board. She’s bi-lingual and studying additional languages. She majored in Marketing/Communications and Global Economics, then switched to Social Psychology with a minor in Linguistics. She advises attorneys on how dance clubs work (and don’t), as well as screening potential clients for these attorneys. She is writing a blog, articles and a book on the industry. She is currently designing a unique line of dancewear, as well.

“I plan on spending my time advocating for and helping dancers regain control of the industry that they are the faces of. IEAU-EDG is my #1 focus and I plan to keep it that way. Making some much needed changes in the industry is an important goal, because it impacts roughly 500,000 exotic dancers and their families, in the United States alone; which means millions of people need us. I feel proud to have the privilege of playing even the smallest role in changing so many people's lives. It's a multibillion-dollar industry and without exotic dancers, the industry wouldn't exist. The actual success of this industry should be credited to the people on the front line; the faces of the industry, the dancers. We did all the work and are sick of being the club owners' lowest priority.”
